Recession Proof Your Wedding

Alan Turkus

Every where I go, people are SCARED about the recession.  They’re complaining about rising prices…no raises…lay offs.

It’s about time for some good news, don’t you think?

Not to be contrarian (now, would I say something to contradict the mainstream?) but…

Now is the BEST TIME to be planning your wedding.

Sounds crazy, I know.  But bear with me.  Here are three reasons why:

1)  Wedding vendors are offering deep discounts.

For the first time in decades, the so-called “recession-proof” wedding industry is hurting because of the down economy.  Wedding vendors are as scared as you are.  Right now, with all the fear out there, they’re willing to bend over backwards to get your business.  If you want discounts, all you have to do is ASK.

This recession puts YOU back in control.  Download my free wedding discount report to learn how to put this to work for you.  The wedding deals available right now are unbelievable if you know where to look.

2) The recession makes it cool to be frugal.

Years ago, if you send postcards instead of reply cards or made donations to a charity instead of buying elaborate wedding favors…you were considered CHEAP.

But everyone can relate to needing to save a few bucks these days.  It’s acceptable to trim excess expresses and plan a really affordable wedding.  In fact, it’s COOL to be stylishly frugal.

You have more support to make your wedding inexpensive from your friends, family and society than ever before.

3.  The recession forces you to decide what’s really important.

Back in the day, it was easy for wedding vendors to take advantage of brides.  All they had to do was say, “If you don’t have this for your wedding day, you’ll regret it,” or “Your wedding day won’t be as special without this one-of-a-kind lace handkerchief thingy…” and brides would collapse in tears, opening their wallets in submission.

No more.

The pressure of a recession forces you to decide what’s most important to planning the wedding of your dreams.  And with that focus comes POWER.  It puts you in the driver’s seat.  You’re calling the shots and creating the wedding discounts you need for an unforgettable wedding.
